- Guy Branum signed with Gersh for representation in all areas, while continuing to be managed by Zack Freedman at Omnipop Talent.
- Branum earned an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series as a writer and producer on HBO Max's Hacks — where he also appears as an actor — alongside WGA and PGA Awards for the show.
- His writing credits span The Mindy Project, The Other Two, A League of Their Own, Billy on the Street, and Awkward.
- Branum appeared in Apple's comedy Platonic with Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, and most recently starred in Adam Shankman's Stop! That! Train! after co-starring in and co-producing Billy Eichner's Bros and debuting in No Strings Attached alongside Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher.
- His stand-up show Be Fruitful premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with prior appearances on Netflix's Stand Out, Conan, After Midnight, and as a regular panelist on E!'s Chelsea Lately.
- His digital series What The Old Gays Remember has amassed over 15 million views, and his memoir My Life as a Goddess landed on NPR's 2018 Good Reads List and Entertainment Weekly's Must List.
Why it matters: Gersh picks up a multi-hyphenate whose credits stretch from an Emmy-winning HBO Max series and Apple original comedy to a Netflix stand-up showcase, a 15-million-view digital series, and a published memoir — giving the agency broad packaging potential across streaming, film, live, and digital formats.
